Write an essay. Discuss your feelings about the poem, "Annabel Lee." Consider the poem as Poe's emotional response to his wife's death, not as a literal account of his actions. What can you infer from the poem about Poe's attitude toward death? Does he succeed in making you, the reader, feel as he does? Does his meter help him or hinder him in establishing the poem's mood? Why? Provide evidence from the poem (quote lines), and write an essay of at least 150 words.

The emotions of a husband who had just lost his wife whom he loved passionately reflects in the poem “Annabel Lee” by Edger Allen poe.

The poet possesses a totally different view about death altogether. Even after losing her wife he feels that though he has lost her by her body, but their soul will ever be separated from each other. He understands that death is inevitable. It will happen to everyone some or the other day. Though in great pain and distress he still finds himself falling for Annabel. The moon, the stars and the world around him make him feel the presence and the beauty of Annabel.

Poe not just succeeds in making the reader feel his emotions but also creates a world in the minds of his readers that love has that potential which can even beat the harshness of death.

The repetition of the words “sea,” “Lee” and “me” not just sets the mood of the poem by giving a form of musical arena but also focuses on the important aspects too. The poet, his beloved wife Annabel and the sea are the three main subject around whom the whole poem evolves. In his deep grief, the poet lays near the sea remembering his wife and finding her beauty in the nature.
